In search of clues to the mystery of her father's death, 16-year-old
Sally Lockhart ventures into the shadowy underworld of Victorian
London. Pursued by villains at every turn, the intrepid Sally finally
uncovers two dark mysteries--and realizes that she herself is the key
to both."In Dickensian fashion, Pullman tells the story of
16-year-old Sally Lockhart, who becomes involved in a deadly web of
events as she searches for a mysterious ruby. The novel is a page
turner, peopled with despicable hags, forthright heroes, and children
living on the underbelly of 19th-century London. The story's events
are exciting, with involved plotting. Settings and characterizations
are exquisitely drawn. The first entry in a planned
trilogy."--(starred) Booklist. Reading level: 6.7.
